The video is set in four rooms for each of the four band members. I like this video and the concept. The members of the band are separated by four rooms and each has their …

Never buy a Fender unless you buy something equal to or better than an American Standard Stratocaster. ALL other Fenders are terrible. I hate them, it’s as if they don’t even try, they don’t even put Humbukkers or anything. Just a solid chunk of plastic and wood that you …

The Blueprint 2: The Gift and the Curse
Roc-A-Fella Records
